Disastrous Decisions

Jared Diamond presents that societies make disastrous decisions in this article. He writes that societies fail to see a problem coming, and therefore cannot prevent it, and then therefore fail to solve the problem in general. He says that this happens because groups of people are bad at making decisions.He also presents four categories in which societies fail as evidence for his argument. He also makes the point to say that once a problem arises it should be dealt with immediately rather than put off, because that only makes the problem worse, and harder to solve.
